Just as that thoughts crosses my mind another one crashes inside my head painfully. “You’re here to tell me you don’t want the baby and are getting an abortion, right?” I ask her stiffly, every joint in my body locking. She looks up sharply at me. Fire burning inside those brown orbs. For a moment
Ava. I sat at a private booth enjoying a piece of cake. Noah was spending the night at Rowan’s so I was child free tonight. I was feeling good for some reason. In that good feeling, I decided to grab something to eat. I was in the mood for some comfort food. That’s why I was currently here eating
I shrug “Sure, if that’s how you want to take it” “One word from me and Rowan will be on your ass…we’ve danced this game before Ava. You know all I have to tell Rowan is that you’ve been rude to me and he will blow up on you” Before, that would have made me bow down. I desperately didn’t want to h

“Mommy where are we going?” Noah asks me as I lock our house. I hadn’t planned on this little trip, but I knew it was something that I needed to do. Nora and Theo have been calling me for days. They wanted a relationship with me, but instead I kept keeping them at arm’s length. I decided that I wa
